(the “Company”) approved (the “Plan Approval”) the Newton Golf Company, Inc. Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which incorporated certain amendments to the Plan, including (i) an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance thereunder by an additional 1,400,000 shares, (ii) an annual share increase equal to the lesser of 5% of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number determined by the Company’s board of directors, with the first such increase to be effective January 1, 2026; and (iii) an extension of the Plan’s expiration date to December 18, 2035.
The Plan is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”). The description of the Plan contained in the Proxy Statement and the foregoing description of the Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
